Tip #1: The Use of Multiple Jars
Craig Hill addresses the use of multiple jars in his book, Five Wealth Secrets 96% of Us Don’t Know. In his book, he emphasizes the need to use multiple jars to allocate every monthly income that comes in. This means the husband and wife should agree on the percentage that goes to each jar – e.g. tithe, offering, savings, investment, expenses. While it does not particularly mean a physical jar, in this case, jars would mean different bank accounts with their specific purpose.
When income that comes in month in and month out do not have an allocation, regardless of the influx of money that comes in, the family tends to spend every single cent, thinking that everything is ever available on a whim. This is just one of the values the book shares. It also emphasizes the value of having a vision for your family, considering economic cycles, lifestyle, debt, et. al.
Tip #2: Improve Banking and Savings Efforts
As a family household, it can be hard to save money with the cost of everything as it stands currently. However, at the same time, sometimes it’s about how you bank and what you utilize in order to save yourself some money.
